Schadenfreude

For all you coders out there wanting to show off all those forked repositories, the github-widget is for you.

There are a few ways to install.

1. Download from here.  The most recent stable release will be available.  As of this writing, it’s REL-1.3.
2. Clone the git repository: git clone git://github.com/hank/github-widget.git
3. Get it through Wordpress (Work in Progress)

If you use one of the first 2 methods, just drop the resultant directory into wp-content/plugins/.

Using any of the three methods, after you have it installed, go to the Admin panel, Plugins -> Installed.  Then, activate the plugin.  Then, go to Appearance -> Widgets.  Put it into a sidebar, and go look at the results.

Please report any errors or problems as a comment to this post.

UPDATE: I just found out that my minimal searching for ‘Github’ in the plugins area, which found no results when I tried it, was insufficient.  I should have used Google.  Oh, well – at least I know how a widget works now!
